Power plays a huge role in HIFI and portable audio systems. Most portable designs suffer from universal power designs that highly compromises signal processing quality. DTR1 adapts dual high-density battery customized power system, designed for High-Fidelity while ensuring separation of digital and analog powerto eliminate circuit noise from the source, alike an enhanced DAP + Amplifier system but with a minimal path and hard soldered joints with no compromises. The ±8.4V PSUremarkably improves efficiency of clean power supplied to the system, with noticeable qualities in transparency and background noise control without the need to excessively damping the output.
DTR1+ selects AK4490EQ for its reliability and specific sound performance, the chipset supports up to 32Bit/768K and switchable digital filters offering different auditory experience. AKM, since its first delta-sigma D/A converter (DAC) in 1989, strives for reproduction of the original sound. Such becomes the philosophy ”Velvet Sound” aiming at providing an active space in the reproduction of sound just like a live performance.
The DTR1+ runs on a deeply-customized Linux OS audio sub-system which utilize a OSS sub-system 30% higher in efficiency than the ALSA audio sub-system. The customized and optimized decode engine ”Nature” synergize effectively with the Linux OS, decodes in optimal condition and reduces transmission delay. Patented ultra light weight GUI system ”Ocelot”, Customized GAI (Graphics Abstract Layer), GDI (Graphic Device Interface), IAL (Input Abstract Layer), SCM (System Control Module), Audio files indexing system – promises minimal MMI, high speed navigation and supporting up to indexing 160000 songs!

]]>You've asked for it, and here it is: Meteor.
For the people that asked for a warmer TRI IEM, TRI has delivered the Meteor specifically for you. This is one of the releases that KBEAR talked about when they said they will have more releases till the end of the year.
This time around, we got a hybrid IEM from TRI. Meteor features a dual driver array: 10MM Beryllium-plated diaphragm dynamic driver and a Knowles ED-29689 balanced armature driver.
We've seen TRI explore the colorful world of shells, the mirror finish, and the anodized aluminum finish. However, we haven't truly seen something as tame as the Meteor. It features purple-ish EGGER resin shells and a black & silver faceplate under the resin.
In terms of the shell size, it appears to be leaning towards the larger size, just like the Starshine & Starlight.
The nozzle shares a similar design of the nozzle featured on the bigger-brother models Starshine and Starlight. While the previously-mentioned models have three openings in the nozzle, Meteor only has two.
Since the Meteor features a single vent, there should be no driver flex issues.
Onto the cable we go. I am personally very happy to see TRI going the matte-like anodized aluminum route for the housings on the cable. They are more attractive than the often-used mirror finished housings. Like the recent releases (Aurora, TRI i3 Pro, Starsea), Meteor has a 3.5mm cable. It is a black cable in color with white accents for the brand's logo. The technical specifications for the cable are: 2-pin 0.78mm connectors, 5N OFC cable material.
I am also very happy to see TRI pushing its great packaging. I was pleasantly surprised with KBEAR Aurora's packaging, so I am looking forward to a similar experience with Meteor's packaging.
If this doesn't satisfy the audience that asked for a warmer sound signature, then I guess TRI will have to go all out and release a warm-sounding flagship, but let's hope that's not the case :)
For those looking for a budget-friendly IEM, Meteor is $99 from 10.28-11.12. After the promotional phase, Meteor will retail for $109

]]>KBEAR is back at it again with the latest-released Aurora. I'm sure everybody remembers the original release of the KBEAR Diamond, a single-driver IEM with a gorgeous design and an authentic look. Shortly after the release of the Diamond, KBEAR released the Believe single-driver IEM with the now-familiar Diamond design. Unlike the Diamond, which featured a single diamond-like-carbon (DLC) coated 8.5mm driver, Believe used a single 9mm pure beryllium driver. KBEAR released an official statement on their Facebook page that the new Aurora can actually compete with the sound performance of Believe. This means that if you enjoyed their Believe model, the new Aurora may be something of interest to you.
The jump from the Diamond model to the Believe model was clearly an upgrade in terms of the driver size, and so is the jump from Believe to Aurora. It features a single 10mm driver with a "Strong Magnetic Nano Titanium-plated Diaphragm". That makes it larger in size by 2mm, but it also uses a different diaphragm. Besides the change in the driver size & technology, Aurora comes in a brand new design, something fresh!
KBEAR has already established itself as an original manufacturer in the IEM space, having designed several "now-iconic" designs. Some of these include: Diamond, TRI i3, Lark, Starlight, and Starshine. The brand-new Aurora features a design approach we haven't yet seen from KBEAR. Like the TRI i3 series, Aurora features a mirror-finished body. However, unlike the TRI i3, the company has decided to spicy it up a little bit with blue accents. Not only this, but this is one of the few IEMs that feature KBEAR's typography logo instead of their often-featured letter "K" logo. From what we have seen in the past, it feels as though this is the most complete design from KBEAR aestheticwise. If TRON:Legacy was an IEM, it would be KBEAR Aurora.
Another reason why the Aurora can be considered as their most aesthetically complete design is because of the attention to detail. When you take a closer look at it as a whole, you can see that both the cable and the ear-tips are matching the blue aesthetic of the Aurora.
Like the large majority of the previous releases, Aurora will use 2-pin 0.78mm connectors. It looks as though it will be using a new cable model with a solid blue look. The cable will be an OFC silver-plated copper cable.
Judging from the released photos, the Y-Splitter is larger than usual and is in a matching mirror finish. The 2-pin connectors' housing is wider towards the top. Another detail about the cable is that the 2-pin design is flat — it's not recessed, it's not protruding, it's flat. The same goes for the 2-pin female connectors on the shells, except they have a very small cutout around them, giving them a slight recessed look.
It is very exciting to see a new product from KBEAR! This is a company that has shown time after time that it cares about the people buying its products. With their teasing on Facebook, we are expected to see more releases from KBEAR this year.
KBEAR Aurora retails for $169, and provides the debut price $139 for a week.

When designing the Plume's appearance, we want to achieve a large cavity with a very stable and comfortable fit.
After several detailed adjustments, we got a front shell with a large and solid enough space.
The rear cavity adopts a superimposed design——the golden metal cover is embedded with a black metal mesh, which is matched with the overall golden metal cavity to enhance the senses of hierarchy and quality.
An ergonomic ear fin is added to the rear of the cavity under the big data design of the auricle and ear canal, providing a more comfortable, more stable, and lighter experience for audiophiles.
All in all, CNC precision carving technology and double cavity molding are applied to increase the cost-effectiveness of this IEM.
CCZ Plume is a hybrid (single dynamic driver and 4 balanced armature) metal in-ear earphone.
It adopts a dual magnetic circuit 10mm moving coil(DD) developed by CCZ independently. This DD has a recognizable sound, sensitive transient response, surging bass, and grand sound field. These characteristics are all in the Plume whose performance is quite vivid. Additionally, the 4 customized balanced armatures (2 CCZ-IF-A for Mid-high frequency and 2 CCZ-HI-A for high frequency) and professional crossover tuning, make the Plume has broad compatibility.
From the symphony of the big compilation to the soft music, all with ease. The high frequency is clear with rich details. Although it is a little bit toothy, it is still within the acceptable range and not harsh. The density of the mid-frequency sound is tight, and the female vocal is a bit more pleasing than the male vocal. The low-frequency has a deep dive having an excellent texture and sufficient quantity. Although it is a bit-banging, the separation is good to ensure the details of other frequencies and enough low-frequency volume. Therefore, its three-frequency connection is smooth.
